As a native Southern Californian- I have spent the last 20 years as a sales professional. I earned my early sales "stripes" as a perennial Pacemaker with Pitney Bowes where I was able to apply my strong work ethic and passion for customer relationships.. After more than 10 years of successful office equipment sales in a business to business environment I entered the world of medical sales - specifically in the dermatology/aesthetics industry which has been my home for the last 10 years. My experience in dermatology/aesthetics includes pharmaceutical, medical device, digital marketing, and software sales to this unique medical specialty.
In my spare time, I enjoy travel, spending time with my family, golf, and my daily crossword puzzle.
